Sermonette: The Traditions of Men

description: Many of the world's religious traditions misrepresent God's word and are not in sync with His holy and spiritual law. God's saints are urged to fact-check all teaching with the Bible (after the practice of the Bereans) rather than blindly accept inherited doctrines that have been influenced by Roman and Greek philosophies, distorting biblical teachings. Such distortions have contaminated mainstream antinomian Christianity with the teaching that grace allegedly abolishes the law, making works unnecessary. While works have never justified anyone, we are required to keep the law in letter and spirit, emulating our Savior. Christ did not end the law, but fulfilled the law, providing a lasting pattern for His saints to follow. We have a somber responsibility to seek pure biblical proof, casting aside deceptive antinomian traditions which contradict God's commands. We have an obligation to diligently study the scriptures, rigorously evaluating all teaching to align our lives with God's truth rather than contaminated human traditions.
